Gov. Ross, as was expected by all
who know what manner OF man the
Texas governor is, has promptly in
stituted enquiries relative to the re-
ported proposition of Land Commits
siener Sparks to induce federal inter-
ference with Texas possession OF
Greer county. Considering that legal
methods have been Instituted to de-
termine this Greer county question,
it seems barely possible that this land
commissioner is laboring under some
hallucination which prompts the be-
lief that he must do something to let
the people know that there is really a
land commissioner and that his name
is Sparks. However, the stirring up
of the matter may hasten a decision
of the boundary question, and there
by Land Commissioner Sparks may
perform q service to the country, and
especially to home-seekers, Of which
in his innocence he had not dreamed.

FoRr WORTH is just now wrestling
with three-horned dilemma of large
proportions, the question being as to
whether the city shall sell, lease or
retain her water works. The fact
that the water works won't work, UNI
der existing conditions, is about the
only point yet definitely settled; but
something is to be done quick. The
mayor will probably pass around the
hat"

The Colored State Fair opens at
Fort Worth to-day, and indications OF
large attendance of the colored pop
ulation are reported. The HERALD
would be pleased to note the success
of this enterprise, or any other which
may have tendency to advance the
colored race morally and Intellectually;
but truth compels the admission that
the outlook for the present and rising
generations of the race, especially in
our larger cities, is anything but flat
tering. The tendency among them to
congregate in low dives and spend
their time in idleness, gambling and
all manner of drunken debauchery,
threatens them with a slavery more
grinding and degrading than any
known to their ancestors.

TEXANS generally will be slow to
believe that Capt. Lee Hall, Indian
agent. has been caught in crooked
ness. His bondsmen, most of whom
live in Sherman, are reported as salts
fed, while reports from Austin say
that persons there having special
knowledge of the captains affairs at
firm that the charges against him cam
not be sustained. Under these cir.
cums,ances, the public may well afford
to suspend Judgment.

THE MEXICAN MISSION.


The excellent Bonham News, edited
BY State Senator Evans. reproduces
the HERALD's first article on the sub
ject and endorsing it says Hon John
ireland is the most suitable man for
the place, and the News would be
pleased to see him appointed.
The Williamson County Sun says;
The DALLAS HERALD wsuts the
Hon. John Ireland appointed 10 the
yc,ant Mexican ministry. If the
Judge desires the appointment he can
can get hearty endorsement from
Texas.
And the San Antonio Times adds !:
Certainly, but there is no COED reason
for believing that Texan will be ap-
pointed though there are many good
reasons why minister should be Sc
lected from this state. Texas will
hardly get two important foreign mis-
sions."
On the same point the BRENNAN
Banner remarks:
II is said that the department OF
state AT Washington is averse to APP
pointing a minister to Mexico from
Texas, for the reason that any question
spt to come up growing out OF border
difficulties, he would be more apt to
take the side of his countrymcp ana
complicate matters, etc..
Well. il that report of the scntimen
at Washington is correct, Texas
should not be honored with the APP
polntment and certainly John Ireland
is not the man TO send to Mexico: for
he would certainly take the part OF
his countrymen, whenever there
would occasion arise for his interfer-
ence. The HERALD had all the time
been under the impression that the
United States sent repre- entatives to
foreign countries to look after, Nd
vance aud protect the interests OF our
countries aud our citizenship there
but if the Bsnuer is correct as to the
opinion of the department of state
the government might save 3d.
600 or $4,000 a year by having
no ministry at Mexico. and the same
policy of economy extended to all
other capitols. In fact, the secretary
of state, and with il the entire consultr
service might be abolished, and leave
Americans to take care of themselves
in all other countries. Buff the court
at the City of Mexico is not to be con-
tinued as farce, John Ireland is the
man: he would take the part of his
countrymen, his state and the federal
government on every occasion OF out
rage or complication, and Mexico and
Mexicans would soon be taught to
respect and honor the United States
government and treat her citizenship
with that consideration to which we
are entitled.
The Seguin Record says:
There are many good reasons why a
Texan should be chosen to fiji the va
cancy caused by the death OF Judge
Manning. Being on the border,
Texas prosperity is more effected by
our relations with Mexico than that of
any other state. Nearly al questions
that arise are those that grow out OF
border troubles. Then there are
many men in Texas who could fill the
vacancy with credit. OF this num-
Der we know of none more suitable
than Elk Governor Ireland. lie is well
known by and has, the highest regard
of some of the most prominent citizens
of Mexico.

Matrimonial Complications.

New YORK, October S-The curious
matrimonial complications Of Gus VIII
lIams, the actor, made public to-day, re-
suited in Mayor Hewitt making known
to-day the fact that Barnard or Wellman,
the matrimonial agent, and his methods
have engaged the attention OF the authori-
ties for month past. Mayor Hewitt on
September received a complaint from a
Wall street broker named Edward J..
Hanks, who asked that the place kept by
Wellman be looked after. Superintendent
Murray stirred up the captain of the police
precinct where the matrimonial agency is
situated, and his officers found that Well
man was in correspondence with hundreds
OF people throughout the country. His
circulars were found in the shops Of coun-
try store keepers, and he had corps of
assistants constantly employed. Fifty
cents was the fee for a personal introduce
ton of a gentleman to a lady; five dollars
was charged to list the name of a matri-
monially inclined person on the egency's
books, and other fees in proportion were
charged for various favors. The concern
issued monthly publications styled the
New York Cupid" which retailed for ten
cents per copy, half rates to patrons.
Among Wellman's references was Sarah A.
Chase, NJ. D., the lecturer, who acq lire
some notoriety years ago. The police re-
ported that there was no positive evidence
upon which prosecution could be based,
and though the place has remained under
surveillance since that time no arrests were
ever made.
